One thing that helps bring order to my spirit is music. So it was hard to imagine anything better than ending a day with Ethan falling asleep while cuddled with Mom, while Imogen Heap streamed a live, improvised piano performance — the perfect background music.

Thank you, Imogen.

My nerves were having one of those phases where I feel jumpy for no logical reason. It kind of felt like there was someone inside poking me with a live electrical wire. It’s not pleasant. Similarly as it turned out, Imogen Heap was having a struggle of her own with "Tidal", a song from her forthcoming 2009 album.

What followed was a lot of fun. Imogen posted snippets of five progressive revisions to the song and there, of course, was a lot of feedback from people on which version(s) they preferred. I was part of that chorus, as was Mim.

By the end, I think, Imogen felt better for the conversation and bouncing the song’s iterations off of the community’s ears. I felt better for having been part of the community and the experience; almost a sense, for a short time, of peace. So it was a lovely win-win.

And that is another reason why I enjoy Twitter. One of these nights, I’ll compile the whole list to date of reasons. But for now, good night.
